Sept. 28. The second annual convention of the American legion today underwent a nihe-hour barrage of resolu tions and committee reports. : The stand of the legion regard ing organised labor was not men tloned in the reoprt of the reso lutions committee. . However, minority ' report was submitted which recommended that the "American Legion reiterate Its position, that it has no partici pation 'in controversies , between capital and labor. The-American Legion is not ' opposed to . organ ised labor when- It conducts it self, - as -we believe it normally does. In conformity with law and ojder. ' v "Heated discussion followed and the minority report was amended to eliminate the last sentence. Still the debate continued, some members taking the position that the American Legion need not make any statement on the sub ject. Others contended that peo ple censured 'the legion because they did not know the exact stand taken on this matter. However. -a substitute tor the minority report was presented by California and adopted, stating "that this convention endorsed the statement recently issued by the national commander. Frank lin D'Olier and accepts that, state ment as the legion's interpreta tion of its position in relation to organized labor." The . attitude of the national commander has been that of "strict neutrality." The stand of the legion regard ing politics was not brought up. The chairman of the committee on constitutional amendments report ed that It had not reached a de cision but would brlngeit In to morrow. Article 15 of the legion constitution then was read which provides that the report of the committee on constitutional amendments must be read 24 hours before action is taken. The chairman proceeded with the bus! nese finished by his committee, which included recommendations regarding re-districtlng of the United States, with a vice-commander as an Intermediate ad ministrative unit in each .district; that no national commander is eligible for re-election and that past national commanders be made life members without voting power.
